Abstract

One of many aspects in human life is about relationship weather its a relationship between friends, parents, sibling or romantic ones. When its come to romantic relation between man and woman as husband and wife then somehow we need to think and expect that divorce might occur between the couple, when things start to changes and no longer fit and set the purpose of each individual entering this commitment at the beginning. The motion of thinking that marriage work as median to change a person character vice versa changing a persons character through marriage, is not an ideal way of starting a marital relationship. As marriage is actually a relation built on two complete strangers of their own mind and characters whom happen to have the same idea and vision as romantic emotion for having relation-as to build their own family and future with someone-as their trusted and loyal companionship for the rest of their lives. Marriage is a private matter none the less, in Indonesia the government has a very strong power toward its civil servant including in aspects of marriage and divorce. The government has the rights and means to interfere as the government during Soeharto1 era, he wanted to create a state official who is authoritative and clean with the Pancasila2 behavior. Although marriage and divorce are consider a private matters but with the interfere of the state although only still in administrative matters open a lot of chance and opportunities to conduct a study related to divorce which happen among the civil servant in Yogyakarta Special Region between 2010-2015. Divorce among the civil servant becoming unique because the state has regulated it but lacking in understanding of why and not enough effort on how to prevent or at least reduce the number. Analyzing the reasons given for divorces cases in 6 years duration as ground line is a way of trying to find better understanding regarding the reasons connected to the position, education level, age, culture and religion itself toward the civil servant behavior. This thesis will try to find some common ground based on research questions as structural position held in office might rendering or not the decision, level of education degree perhaps increasing the desire for divorce on several conditions, maturity might influence the way of thinking and the possibility of culture and religion shape an easiness on perceiving divorce. These views would be used to find the reason to get a better understanding of why the civil servants applying for divorce and perhaps also can be used for common sense related to divorce itself. Finding a basic knowledge beyond the reasons may provide the Civil Servant Agency on how to answer and give proper reaction on handling and managing divorce cases in the future. Not only mere an administrative point but also build the capacity of its employee in dealing and facing the divorce process during and after.
